they will exploit you with false words

Obama wants to increase the nation's reliance on science. If you give him the benefit of the doubt, it's because he wants to move us technologically forward. If you want to read into End Times prophecy, you'll see it as thinly veiled contempt for religion, especially Christianity. I fall into a position in between where I see him wanting to push us forward into the future -- unfortunately, that's a future that denigrates faith.

All that to point out the continuing ridiculousness of science:
* Maybe we can continue unfounded speculation on events that may or may not have occurred. How is it considered "science" to be writing articles on events that existed -- according to their own stupid notions -- millions of years before human existence? It's like me writing a paper claiming that dinosaurs subsisted on unicorns and trolls. Utter speculation masquerading as intellectual content.
* Maybe we can continue imagined creations on events that may or may not ever happen. Some "scientists" made up a video to show possible events in space-- in the same way I could use video-editing software to show my children flying in space without spacesuits. Special effects these days show animated Ents, realistic superheroes, and robots that can turn into vehicles. Utter speculation masquerading as intellectual content.
* Maybe we can continue sinking billions of dollars into a failed dream that may or may not destroy the world. How could something be "even more perfect"? Isn't perfection the top level you can reach? And how can your existing thing that is perfect be broken for 7 months? We have people criticizing possible discrepancies in the Gospels, and yet you can create perfect machines that break on their first run and call it good science? Utter speculation masquerading as intellectual content.

Want to run some experiments? Combine people who hypocritically disregard faith even though their life's work depends completely on faith in false gods, with a large body of liquid heated to a degree beyond which it combusts. Simmer for eternity. Going to be an awesome experiment.
